Police officials refused to comment on the ticket, but one newspaper points out that Davis may have been cited incorrectly. Another city ordinance states it is illegal to "transfer currency... to any person standing on a street or highway" the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Davis said he admires the Cleveland police, and isn't trying to start trouble, but doesn't want to pay for simply trying to help out someone less fortunate.

"I don't mean any disrespect toward the police department at all we need 'em but I just wish I didn't have to pay this ticket," Davis told Fox8.com.

Still, the experience has made him less likely to give money to those in need.

"I'd like to do it again but I'm petrified I'm going to get a ticket," he said.

And in thier rush to coin gold, they will open Ft. Knox and find it emptied. In it's place, there will be another worthless scrap of paper...an IOU.
An alternate theory says that the gold bars have been replaced with gold-plated Tantalum. i.e. - they're fake. Gold-laced Latinum, anyone?

I am reading articles like this one all too freguently. I hope this is a real story because all that needs to happen is a court case and some public support and some headlines in the mainstream media - to alert the public to what is really happening.

As long as John Davis has some backbone as well as a kind heart - he needs to make his face as public as possible and tell his story to anyone who will listen and has a camera on him as he speaks. That is all that needs to be done to make professional agencies accountable.
